Organizational Structuring, Policy Design & Interim Economic Development Services
At King City Advisors, we provide turnkey solutions for local governments, development authorities, and community-based organizations seeking to build, refine, or restructure their economic development operations. Whether you’re launching a new department, revitalizing an underperforming authority, or seeking interim leadership to maintain momentum, we offer the strategic guidance, operational expertise, and hands-on support needed to get the job done.
Our founder, Artie Jones III, brings decades of experience leading municipal departments and authorities throughout Georgia. Under his leadership, King City Advisors has become a go-to partner for communities looking to scale their capacity, adopt best practices, and operate with transparency and professionalism.
Our Services Include
Organizational Structuring & Development
We help cities, counties, and nonprofit entities design and launch economic development departments, community improvement districts (CIDs), main street programs, and development authorities from the ground up—including mission articulation, staffing plans, board formation, bylaws, and operating protocols.
Policy Design & Strategic Governance
We create and refine economic development policies, incentive guidelines, program scoring tools, and evaluation frameworks that align with your city’s comprehensive plan and legal authority. We ensure compliance with Georgia state statutes while also positioning your organization for innovation and flexibility.
Board & Staff Training
We offer customized training for elected officials, board members, and staff to help them understand their roles, legal obligations, and the tools at their disposal. Our sessions cover topics such as development finance, incentive negotiation, project evaluation, public-private partnerships, and community engagement.
Interim Economic Development Services
When there’s a leadership gap—or when your community is launching a new effort—King City Advisors can serve in an interim capacity to manage economic development functions, represent your interests in high-stakes negotiations, evaluate proposals, and ensure seamless operations while a permanent solution is secured.
Who This Service Supports
- Newly incorporated cities and counties
- Dormant or underperforming development authorities
- Community improvement districts and neighborhood coalitions
- Local governments undergoing staff transitions or executive turnover
- Economic development boards needing updated bylaws, training, or structure
Why It Matters
Communities don’t just need plans—they need infrastructure and leadership capable of executing them. Without clear structure, sound policy, and qualified personnel, even the best-intended strategies can fall short.
At King City Advisors, we ensure your organization is built for impact and accountability—not just paperwork.
Whether you need to stand up a new agency, reinvigorate a board, or manage daily operations during a transition, our team provides the seasoned support and strategic foresight to keep your community moving forward.
